Feature for consideration

Thu May 21, 2015 9:22 am

I'm finding that I depend on bolded text for new messages in MW. I have the setting for marking read at zero seconds, which helps. But it would be even more helpful to have a button or context menu item that will "mark all as read" for when there are multiple new messages.

Thanks for your consideration!

Hi there

It's not quite the suggestion, but you know you can do this through the Read column ?
If that column is not displaying, you can right click on the column heading and select to display the Read column. The icon in the column once showing, acts as a toggle, so with multiple messages selected (or CTRL + A for all) you can just click to mark/unmark as read.

Cheers

Thanks! I hadn't noticed the "read" column. Helps, but still cumbersome. I can click the oldest unread and hold up arrow to scroll through. I have that value to mark read set to zero seconds, so that works. Still not particularly friendly though.

I wonder about making it an option, when clicking the "Read" column header, to have it set either toggle selected messages or to toggle all messages. That would, in effect, create a button for a single click function.

Yeah we can do that. We have that feature already in the Delete column, clicking that box acts as a toggle for all emails, so we can do the same in the Read column.

Thanks very much! I didn't realize you were with Firetrust 'till that second reply.

I wasn't aware of the multi-nature of the delete column either. Very elegant!

No problem :thumbsup

Can't say for sure when this might be done, but it's on the list now.
